Teacher dies from beating Oct 30, 2005, 07:44 PM
WAFF 48 News has learned the teacher who was brutally beaten at Valley school has died.
The attack happened Wednesday inside the Lawrence County Family Education building in Moulton.
Doctors say Judy Jester's condition worsened and she never regained consciousness.
She died Sunday afternoon at Huntsville Hospital.
Jester was a first grade teacher at Hatton Elementary School.
She was found bleeding and unconscious inside the Lawrence County Family Education building in Moulton Wednesday night.
Investigators say the she had been beaten several times in the head and face.
Jester suffered a fractured skull and a brain stroke.
A 15-year old is accused of attacking her.
The unidentified teenager is being held at a detention center in Lauderdale County.
Police believe robbery may have been the motive behind the beating.
The teenager faces robbery, burglary and attempted murder charges, but now those charges are expected to be upgraded.
The teenager could be charged as an adult.
WAFF 48 News will continue to follow this story and will bring you new details as we get them.
It's an adult crime. The Scumbag should do adult time.
It's OK. He was just practicing a wrestling move he saw on TV. Unfortunate, but no crime was committed.
In which state did this happen?
What's a 15 year old doing in an elementary school? Oh wait, public schooling, right?
No mention of the sex of the offender, no mention of race. What happened to decent reporting.
The story doesn't say which state, but it must be Alabama.
Wonder if those people who decried the use of a Taser on a schoolboy armed with a shard of glass will be showing up on this thread?
Lesseee now...white teacher, no mention or picture of the perp. Hmmmmmm.....fercryinoutloud...
Alabama.
that "afro-american" is 15??? he should do time as an adult for life with no parole. Set an example, a hard example by putting him on the chain-gang.
They state it by not stating it.
Moulton is a small town in NW Alabama.
Spoke to someone who had taught in Tuscaloosa County (AL)schools and left. She said some students would get into bloody fights when teachers turned their backs in the class room....it only would take seconds. Also said teachers could not wear name tags for fear some student would use it as a choking device.
The SYSTEM has failed.
That was meant to say lanyard nametags worn around the neck.
Send the 15-year-old perp to the big house for life. Bubba will appreciate a nice young cellmate.
This has been all over our local news. He's a black male. Also, its been reported that he will be tried as an adult. Good thing Alabama has the death penalty. I hope he gets it.
Its been reported that the woman was working after hours in the school and was by herself.
What a big suprise we have here.
